Rebels return to Dawson County
Speedway
If drivers in the United
Rebel Sprint Series are needing a
speed rush, they need look no
further than the dirt track in
Lexington, Neb.
And this Sunday, the dirt oval at
Dawson County Speedway will feature
the return of the Rebels.
It's just a big, fast track, said
driver Zach Blurton. It's all about
staying straight and not losing
momentum. You just have to stay on
the gas.
Sunday's race will be the third one
this season for the URSS. Jason
Martin won the opener at Beaver
County Raceway in Beaver, Okla., in
April, while Jeff Radcliffe won the
second day of the Cow Chip Spring
Nationals event and took home
$1,500.

URSS gets
boost from season sponsor Precise Racing Products
OBERLIN
The seventh season of the United Rebel Sprint Series is about to
kick off, and series founder Rick Salem is pleased to announce
another sponsor for the 2012 campaign.
Precise
Racing Products has jumped on board to support the Rebels this
season. The business offers tires and parts for all forms of racing
at affordable prices.
We've
actually been involved with the tire perspective for years with the
Hoosier tires, said owner Chris Archer. We cater to sprint cars,
late models, modifieds and others
Precise
Racing Products has store locations in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and
Wichita.
I've known
Rick for a while, Archer said. I want the series to succeed.
Archer said
his company offers affordable solutions to racing products in many
divisions. He's happy to be associated with the URSS for the year.
The series
is a growing series, he said. They put on a good show for the
fans, and it's good for the participants. Rick tries to keep the
cost down with the tires and not have drivers burn them off every
night.
Archer is a
former sprint car racer himself, so the partnership is a natural
fit.
Ronnie
Warman serves as the manager of the Wichita store, which is located
at 3801 W. Pawnee. He can be contacted by phone at (316) 945-4000.
The store's website is preciseracing.com.
Hill City's Radcliffe takes big payout at Cow Chip Nationals
BEAVER, Okla. The previous night, Jeff Radcliffe believed his car was good enough to win the feature.
The next night, the Hill City driver didn't believe his United Rebel Sprint Series ride was good enough for the top spot.
Funny how things work out sometimes, just ask Radcliffe. One of the young guns in the URSS claimed his second career sprint car victory Saturday, the second day of the inaugural Beaver Cow Chip Spring Nationals at Beaver County Raceway.
Even better, the victory allowed Radcliffe to take home the lofty $1,500 payout one of the largest purses in the URSS this season.
Coming out of turn four, I had my hand in the air and said, We did it, Radcliffe said about taking the checkered flag. I don't care about the check, I just wanted that trophy.
